Lignum Vitae Fountain Pen

I was asked to make a fountain pen by a co-worker. He did not have a preference to what wood I used. He just wanted a fountain pen for a son-in-law that collects fountain pens. This is what I came up with for him. It is an El Grande kit, and the wood is Lignum Vitae. It has some interesting grain to it. It will darken to a greenish color over time.

I am amazed at the way you make these pens. This pen has come out so well with the special wood you have used. Your co-worker will be very happy to possess this pen. Does he collect only wooden pens. I have got many old pens lying down for disposal (not wooden).Sharad
